This invention relates to-an implement positionsmentioned. -The plate 18 has a adapted'for breaking, chopping or slushing notch 19 to accommodatethe second screw iceQ 1 I 12,-when the plate 18 is disposed acro'ss the i The principal object of the invention is hole 14 and recess'15. Useis made of a pick the provision of an implement which emor awl-like element20 n the form of ahead- 55 bodies novel structural and functional feaed. P ,"O it g h to b r n ln W1 h 1I tures, to the end, that the pick or awl-like the handle 10, as shown most clearly n Fig. member may be safely disposed within the 2; When the, element 20 s dispo e -Within -handle,when the implement is not in use, the liandle 10, the plate 18 may be brought I and which maybe readily brought and be t the position across th h 4p asshown '60 held disposed in a projecting position on the H dO and dash lines in Fig. 3 to; keep ai handle, to enable the use of the implement elementgo n't h d e W h implem nt for the purposes mentioned, s not 111' use. In this way the implement With the foregoing, other objects of th 1s renderedharmless, particularly in the invention will'appear from the embodiment hands f e e I y Y -6 ofthe inventionwhich byway of example is When 1131s deemed o use he 1n1p1ement,the Y described in the following specification and l l w g 0 he position shownin Y illustrated in the accompanying drawings, 1 111163} g- 3,Where11PO 11 h l n f in which I Y Y Y by inverting the handle 10 will move to a pro- 7 Figure 1 is a perspective view of th 1 jected position in which thehead 21 of said; ;70' pleme'nt ready for use; q lnplement will be received in the recess 15.

The handle. 10 is open at one end clioppingor slushing ice. The pick element and the other end is closed. A mem'berll 20 may be allowed to drop into theliandle of metal is held in fixed position on the open 10 by merely moving the plate 18 clear of end of the handleflO by suitable fastening the head 21.

Y has a slot 13 which open'sto a hole 14 in said fer 22 is arranged in the closed end of the J member, and also opens to a recess 15, while handle 10, it being apparent that the head i the latter opens to a bore 16 in a boss 17 form- 21 comes into contact with the buffer when the ing a part of the member 11. It will be-appick element 20 drops into the handle 10.
